[ms4w-users] apache does not start (ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf)

[jccoate at mmm.com]

I have the same problem with the 8/8/08 MS4W.  Should we have to do a 
separate install of FastCGI to get the MS4W package to work?

Hi Till,

    Your problem seems to come from the fastCGI module.  Go to the 
following link : 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html  and 
to "F. FastCGI".

    After it's installed, you can test if the module loads correctly by 
doing the following in a command window :

    cd c:/ms4w/Apache/bin
    httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES

    and see if your fastCGI module is there.

    A tip ( but I think you already know that ) : when you 
start/restart/stop apache, be sure do it in a command window and not by 
clicking on the .bat file in windows mode.  That way, you will be able 
to see if there is any error message.

Cheers,

Alexandre
